Carneiro files individual legal claim against embattled Mourinho

Portuguese during a game against Swansea and he may now appear at an employment tribunal

Eva Carneiro has taken individual legal action against Jose Mourinho following her exit from Chelsea.

The former physiotherapist left the Blues on September 22 after she and colleague Jon Fearn were criticised by Mourinho for being “impulsive and naïve”, having entered the field of play to treat Eden Hazard during a 2-2 draw with Swansea.

Mourinho was disappointed that their actions reduced his side to nine men at a crucial stage of the game, and Carneiro was subsequently dropped from the bench, and it is understood that she has now filed a claim against the Portuguese.

The development means Mourinho will have to appear in person at an employment tribunal unless the two parties can reach a settlement outside of court. If victimisation or discrimination can be proven then an individual can be personally liable for damages.

Chelsea are thought to be aware of the filing of documents and a spokesperson said: "As this matter is subject to legal proceedings it wouldn't be appropriate to comment at this time."

Mourinho has struggled thus far this season, seeing his side win just three of their opening 11 Premier League games.

Vardy: It Was Easy To Reject Arenal Move

Jamie Vardy says it was easy for him to reject a move to Arsenal, insisting both his head and his heart told him to stay at Leicester City. After playing a crucial role in last season's surprising Premier League title win, the England international was the subject of a bid from the Gunners which triggered his £22 million release clause. Instead, the striker opted to remain at the King Power Stadium and signed a new deal with the Foxes. And Vardy, 29, says it was an easy decision to make. “I was in a hotel room [in Chantilly] for so many hours of every day with nothing to do. You had a lot of time on your hands," he told The Guardian . “I am not going to beat around the bush – every time I thought about it, and every aspect of it I thought about, both my head and my heart were saying to stay at Leicester, which is why I made my decision to stay. “There were loads of reasons. You get that much time to think about, every single thing down to the tea lady. You think about w...
